Identify two errors made by a student asked to evaluate the following integral (Will upload question to less space)

Error 1: expressed 3/x^(1/2) incorrectly. Should be 3x^-(1/2), not 3x^(1/2).Error 2: subtracted the larger area from the smaller area after substituting the unknowns with the given limits value.

Let w, z be complex numbers. Show that |wz|=|w||z|, and using the fact that x=|x|e^{arg(x)i}, show further that arg(wz)=arg(w)+arg(z) where |.| is the absolute value and arg(.) is the angle (in polar coordinates). Hence, find all solutions to x^n=1 .


A curve is defined by the parametric equations x = 3^(-t) + 1, y = 2 x 2^(t). Show that dy\dx = -2 x 3^(2t).


Use Simpson’s Rule with five ordinates to find an approximate value for the integral e^(x^2)dx between the values of 0 and 1
